God. She bumped into me twice. But I still couldn't get her out of my mind. Whenever she coward away from me, I wanted to apologise. I reframed from doing so though. I couldn't loose my bad boy reputation. Any other girl I would've just yelled at and not given it a second though. But she was different. She wasn't snappy, she didn't say anything back. Even though I was being a jerk. I don't know. She's, different. I don't have many friends, just Nate. I've known him since 2nd grade. I noticed she doesn't have any friends though. I wonder why... No I don't! I shouldn't be thinking about some dumb girl.
Just stop thinking about her.
I fall asleep, and even though I said to stop, she's all I think about.
----------
The next morning I wake up and get dressed. I go downstairs and I'm greeted by my younger sister, Maddie.
"Good mowning Ace!" She's smiles up at me with a toothy grin. She just started kindergarten this year and the only thing she could talk about last night at dinner, is about how excited she is.
"Good morning Mads." I pick her up and spin her around. She giggles and my mom comes in.
"Come one you two, breakfast is ready." We both race to the kitchen, and as usual, I let Maddie win. She pumps her fist in the air.
"I won agwin Ace!" She still has trouble pronouncing her "r" so I laugh a little. My thoughts travel back to that certain girl.
Stop it Ace.
We sit down and eat breakfast while making conversation. Afterwards, I head to the bus for school.
When I get on, I notice her. For the first time ever, I notice her. She's sitting there reading a book and listening to music. She has both earbuds in. I guess she knows I'm looking because she looks up and meets my eyes. She immediately frowns and so do I. I guess I can't blame her, I mean, I did just yell at her yesterday. I break eye contact and go to sit next to Nate.
Nate's reading too, so I lean my head back on the seat and start thinking.
I close everyone out and I'm a jerk because I don't like people all that much. I feel like if they fear me, then they won't come near me and I'll be left in peace. I've felt that way since 3rd grade whenever I started getting bullied. I bullied back and people stopped messing with me. I slowly started to close everyone out and only let Nate in. I'm pulled out of my thoughts by the stopping of the bus. I get off and head into the school.
Whenever I walk into the school, the first thing, or rather, person, I see, is her. I purposely bump into her, making her drop her books.
"What's this? Revenge?!" She looks furious at me, but if it gets her to talk to me, then oh well.
"No, it was an accident thank you." She sighs angrily and rolls her eyes.
"I have better places to be." And with that, she's gone.
----------
I walk into Culinary Arts. It's that or computer class or band. And I refuse to sit there and learn how to use a stupid computer, or blow on a dumb instrument.
I see Eva sitting in a stool and the stools on either side of her are empty. So I sit to her right.
"What do you want Ace?" I look over to see her glaring at me. I glare back.
"I want you to be my partner Eva."
"Partner?"
"Yeah, and you're the only one that won't make stupid conversation with me because Nate is in a different class period." She rolls her eyes at me and Mrs. Knight comes in to tell us about our partnered assignment.
"You'll be writing down as much as you can remember from yesterday and the partners you partner with, you will be working with for the rest of the year." I hear Eva groan quietly beside me, but only loud enough for us both to hear. I frown and face her.
"Why do you have a problem with working with me for the rest of the year?"
"Because I have no idea how you feel about me. One minute your yelling at me to watch where I'm going, and the next, you're the one bumping into me. Then you partner up with me and ask me why I don't want to partner with you for the rest of the year. Make up your kind Ace!"
"I'm sorry Eva. I should make up my mind." We start working on the assignment and for the rest of the class, we start thinking about what we learned and writing it down.
"Okay everyone, we only have two minutes left of class so one of you please bring me yours and you partner's paper." As I'm taking mine and Eva's paper up there, she's cleaning up our balled up papers and putting her stuff in my back pack.
----------
At diner we talked about our days at work and school and then I came upstairs to go to bed. Whenever I fall asleep, I'm thinking about Eva.
